I'm sure in it's better times this was a nice shiney river boat that plied the murky waters of the Pearl River. Now it's a rotting hunk of wood that might be at the bottom of the river by now. It would make a great prop in a pirate movie!!
Huaishengsi Guangta Minaret.
by Guantanamera
The present structures of the mosque are Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), as the original building was destroyed by fire in 1343 under unknown circumstances... The minaret of this mosque is one of the well-known symbols of old Guangzhou, alongside the pagoda at the Temple of Six Banyan Trees. Take a look at this very old map of Guangzhou and you will see the minaret on the lower left hand side where it says "Pagoda M." (M for mosque).
When I visited, the mosque was open to the public...
